Kanchanaburi Day 2

I am pleased to say that all of the children fell straight to sleep last night and slept until morning. They were exhausted after such an exciting day! 

This morning we woke up and did room checks. All rooms were given a score out of 10. The lowest score was 8, this shows you just how mature and independent the children are being. 

At 7.15, we all enjoyed a scrumptious buffet breakfast in the restaurant before heading to the Hellfire Pass and memorial museum. Inside the museum, we studied many paintings, photographs and artifacts, we also watched a short film which explained the history of the pass in a little more detail. After this, we walked through the Hellfire Pass itself!

                                        

                                        

                                        

                                        

                                        

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                                       

Next on the agenda was the waterfall, it took us quite a while to get there. Whilst travelling, Miss Campbell let James borrow her iPad to entertain himself with, she'll think twice about doing this again!

                                        

                                        

                                       

The waterfall was magnificent and the children loved splashing around and climbing the rocks with Mr Dyke. 

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                                      

                                       

Finally, we began our journey back to the hotel. We boarded a train at Thakilen Station and after one hour, arrived at Namtok Station. The views over the river and through the mountains were stunning! 

                                       

                                                          

                                         

                                         

                                       

We are now back at the hotel and have finished eating dinner at the Jungle View restaurant. Then, we will have learning in the conference room and soon after, it will be time for bed.

                                       

We hope that you are enjoying looking at our photographs and we can't wait to tell you about our experience tomorrow afternoon! See you then!
